Friday 8/22

It's nice to be able to report just "another good day"-- uneventful compared to the past two weeks, but eventful for us since that makes two good days in a row!

Carl slept well last night, for several hours at a time. His sister Fi spent the night here with him in the hospital. (Someone from his family, a close friend or one of our kids has faithfully stayed by his side these past 14 nights. How can I ever thank you all?)

This afternoon Carl wheeled himself down the hallway to the elevator and we ventured downstairs and out the front door, hoping to get some sunshine. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I think we overdid it a bit!

He is looking forward to seeing visitors. A few people have come during a time when he is alert and he enjoys those visits so much...but at this point it still makes him very tired. I think it is a side effect of the morphine. As time goes on, he will definitely be able to engage more. Thank you for your patience and in some cases, your repeated visits , hoping to see him.
